Spider-Man’s Multiverse Reveal Could Bring the X-Men to the MCU
Warning: Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame.
While Spider-Man: far From Home is intended to be the epilogue to Phase 3 of the MCU, the latest trailer also dropped a huge bombshell with potentially massive ramifications for the future of this shared universe. The events of Avengers: Endgame have apparently opened the doors to an entire Marvel multiverse.
From setting up the X-Men to expanding the scope of SHIELD, here are the ways in which Far From Home's multiverse reveal could play out in future MCU projects.
Introducing the X-Men and Fantastic Four
The most obvious benefit of introducing the multiverse concept is that it allows Marvel Studios to easily introduce the X-Men and Fantastic Four into the MCU. Those characters had been off-limits until Disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox was completed earlier this year. That delayed introduction creates certain storytelling problems going forward. How does Marvel explain why these two teams didn't show up before now? If Wolverine has been clawing up bad guys for decades, why didn't he show up to help fight Thanos in Endgame?

Denis Dyack Talks About Silicon Knights vs. Epic Games Lawsuit
In all of gaming, you’d be hard pressed to find a messier lawsuit (and subsequent fallout) than that of Epic vs. Silicon Knights. Back in 2007, Silicon Knights formally sued Epic for allegedly failing to address issues with Unreal Engine 3, which Silicon Knights was using to develop Too Human. For a multitude of reasons, Silicon Knights effectively lost that lawsuit, and as of a 2014 report, still somehow owes Epic $9.2 million in legal fees. Though Silicon Knights is no more, former president Denis Dyack says that, knowing what he knows now, he would've likely reconsidered going through with the lawsuit.
2018 Set a New Comic Book Sales Record
The comic book industry had its strongest sales year ever in 2018, with total sales topping a previous record set in 2016. That's according to a joint analysis by ICv2’s Milton Griepp and Comichron’s John Jackson Miller.
Grieep and Miller estimate that total comic book and graphic novel sales in 2018 amounted to $1.095 billion. A little under half of those sales came from traditional comic book shops, while the remainder were through book channels (bookstores, online retailers, Scholastic book fairs, etc.), digital downloads and crowdfunding services like Kickstarter. This is the first time crowdfunding data has been included in Grieep and Miller's annual report.
